A real-life Mario Kart racing experience is reportedly on its way to Ohio.

The Mushroom Rally, which is based in Australia, is launching a United States tour with plans to come to Cincinnati and Columbus.

Spokesman James Harrison said the tour will start in Los Angeles and be in Ohio in May.

"Tickets will be $55 a person and includes a choice of costume, race time, a chance to win awesome prizes, and an after-party," Harrison said. "The fastest driver from each city will win a trip to Las Vegas in July to fight it out in the grand finale."

No dates have been announced, but those interested in participating can sign up for more information on the event's website.

Harrison confirmed that the Ohio dates will include Cincinnati and Columbus.

He added: "We have had a massive response in Ohio and as such, may need to add an extra city to accommodate the demand."
